General Discussion Forum / Re: Morgan State University Sees Boost in Ph.D. Enrollment

« on: July 21, 2021, 09:11:29 PM »

“Morgan has had great success over the past three years, raising our number of graduating Ph.D. students from 40 to 50 per year to close to 70, and sustaining that number. With the TETFund partnership, we will add close to 70 more doctoral graduates each year for the next five years,” Dr. Astatke said. “It is easy to envision MSU rising from the pack to become the nation’s leader in conferring Ph.Ds. to Black students. This will be a significant boost toward our strategic goal of moving Morgan from our current classification as an R2 (‘high research’) institution to an R1 (‘very high research’) institution.”

That’s what’s up Morgan !!!

Interesting topic…I’ve been a member for many years now and enjoy it over here. That said, it’s never been “The Source” for me…just a source. When I started posing here sites like the SWACpage, MEACfans, and BlueDeath Valley were coming into their own.

This site or at least the posters began to cater to Div 2 schools…if you were interested in HBCU sports in general it was a good place for information. If you wanted coverage of a Div program or conference you had better options.

I think his site has a place…it’s far from Blockbuster. How much you post here all depends the schools and conferences you follow.

Damn! The are all white...this says a lot about the GOP in Pennsylvania and as a whole. That party isn't even trying, you got people of all stripes and backgrounds in this country and in that state. They can't find any non white people to represent them and their politics.

The benefits of having a Black Republican Chancellor at the helm.  Fish sales will decline now.  Wine and Cheese go along with quiche sells will rise.  UNCFSU will go with the money.

I'm not a FSU insider, but I'm pretty sure this was in the works before their new Chancellor came along...and why are you calling the school UNCFSU? What would you prefer for the website? There are lot's of FSU's out there...what would you like...XXXXXX.edu

It's Shelby County (A GOP stronghold). So, it's nothing to worry about here.

Also, why is this man a coon for not agreeing your political ideology? 

The GOP is openly hostile to black people. They are currently conflated critical race theory with anything that is ant-racist, equitable treatment and resources. They do not believe systemic racism exists even with mountains of evidence. If you support the current GOP, I’m not sure what else to call you.

It's the open hostility that I find most disturbing. The modern GOP don't even try. Like most most of you, given the history of our country I'm not surprised...but what has changed for me is how blatant they are now. They don't even try to hide their racism.

It was always an undertone you could find on the fringe in the GOP, but now it's mainstream for them...almost a requirement.

If the SWAC does not win the Celebration Bowl ... you will never hear the end of it.

 

You got that right...I can hear it now, the only way the SWAC can beat a MEAC school and when the Celebration bowl is with a MEAC school.

Sports Forum / Re: A&T says unusual goodbye to MEAC to join Big South Conference

« on: July 01, 2021, 11:52:42 AM »

They dropped those articles at midnight on the dot. So far i'm impressed with their media team

I see you wasted no time worshipping your new Masters. They knew about this conference change for more than a year,so why wouldn't it be released on time? Damn... a two year old could've done it.

Really 55, our new masters? Guess by your logic the MEAC and their staff was our old masters.

How about we will what we want, and are masters of our own destiny.

With your response I can assume that you personally wanted this? Aggies are not willing anything. Its probably a very few Aggies that want this. Mostly your President and AD. So you can get ride of "we".

I can't say I wanted this...didn't even consider it to be honest. I knew A&T was considering it's options and the Big South was one among a few. I was caught off guard like many...but I'm ready to move on.

I'm not too sure about your thoughts on "very few" Aggies wanting this. One thing can be said for sure. When the MEAC was formed and it was established A&T was leaving the CIAA there were plenty of AGGIES unsure...and some outright hated the move.

It all worked out in the end and we are better off for it...this will be no different.

Sports Forum / Five-Star Travis Shaw puts A&T in Top Four

« on: June 17, 2021, 11:08:35 AM »

He will never wear an Aggie uniform. Since when did coming in forth win anything but a moral victory. There is no way he will select A&T over any of those other schools. His list will change over time and will include Alabama and a few other schools. Some of these Aggies are talking about why not attend an HBCU, when themselves don't want to be associated with HBCUs by joining the Big South. You talk about taking out of both sides of your mouth.

  Did you apply to A&T for school and they reject your application or something?  Because DAYUUUUUUM! you be coming for those AGGIES with both barrels BLAZIN',,,,, DAYUM! 

You have to wonder sometimes...this guy is obsessed with all things A&T. It's the little brother syndrome most of those rams have. They always trying to get some attention because they are overshadowed by the AGGIES.

You don't typically see 5 star recruits picking an FCS program right out of high school. If he does awesome...if not, and he find the grass wasn't as green as he initially thought and decided to come back home to Greensboro and to A&T...we would welcome him back with open arms.

Our University profile...student profile...and recruiting profile has never been higher. The Aggies will continue to weigh our options and do what we believe is best for us...we stayed in the MEAC until our admins felt it was time to move on. Our time in the Big South will be the same. We will be there as long as it suits us.

Meanwhile the rams are dropping sports...and signing contracts to play away games at A&T just like we told them they would. They are literally not in our league or on our level...you would think they have more important things to worry about than what A&T is doing.

M&G, after Apple jerked me around on my Macbook Air and tried to fleece for $1200 me back in 2011, I'll never touch another Apple product. Plus, they're too proprietary for my taste.

To each his own...but that's one of the things people like most about iPhones and Apple products in general. Apple is known for exceptionally designed proprietary hardware and software. The devices can be pricey...and have a cult like following, but that's because they are freaking awesome...secure, very intuitive to the user, and elegant in their design and function.

It's not a device for "everyman" running an OS for any device.

I used those features all the time just to fugg with you android people...but seriously, the like, don't like, laugh, etc. text features make texting easier. I'm surprised android hasn't copied them by now. Once you start using them, there is no going back...we just forget that others don't see the same thing we do.

Had no idea this was an apple-only feature.  lol . .and yeah I love it.

For the longest time I had no idea either...most of my circle are iPhone users. Then one day an android using friend showed me how "like" and other responses displayed on their phones. I pulled out my phone and I was like "Nah, this is what I see", and they was like "that's nice"...LOL !!!
